Good use of the theme although it took me a minute to figure out why I couldnt move. Nice entry.

Does this require a controller? Nothing I pressed could make the ship move up or down.

Hey that's cool ! Although it's a little frustrating, the upgrades are not enough powerfull from my point of vue. For exemple, upgrading the cannon cadence one time doesn't really change anything. It's almost the same cadence as before and it's really not worth it.
But I like the idea of the reactors that you have to buy in order to move your ship.

Yes, you can move only if you "buy" reactors.
The cadence change the time between two shoot by 1/5 of the base cadence.

The idea of buying your reactors can be fun but since there are far away in the upgrade list, you don't really know you have to buy them when you first start the level. And like Darkcoder I was a little puzzled. Anyway, great idea, it could really work as a hardcore free to play facebook game :p

Nice little game, though it could have used a bit more explanation of what all of the skills do. IMO putting movement under skills is making the game less fun.

Once I figured out that I had to BUY controls I found it pretty addictive to try to max the upgrades, but unfortunatly I quickly realised I wasn't really having much fun. Cool idea, but rather simple execution.

The graphics were all cool but the game itself felt pretty cookie cutter

XD I like the idea. Up movement did it for me :)

I first wondered why I couldn't move. It's a cool idea but it gets repetitive quick.

I had some problems with movement, but graphics is very good!

add screenshake and blood and guns and multiple rocket launchers and ...

hermes 2013-12-19 10:00

In a next version maybe pereubu.

Aaaaah, the controls are NOT broken ;) Pretty clever!

van-noctar 2013-12-31 02:09

Yeah! Very addictive!! :D

The way the game works could be more explained. I disliked the idea of one life/one upgrade, are the upgrades points not associated with score ?
